International comparative study of teaching in Global Education with students : Communications among classes international linkage classes with VTR and E-mail

在之前的调查中，关于日本、韩国和美国学童对环境认知的差异，其中一个重要的发现是，他们对问卷的回答可能基本上是基于他们在教科书中所学到的知识，所以作为Global Education的一部分，我们试图交换录像带，让孩子们更清楚地了解生活在不同国家的其他学生的真实形象。希望我们可以通过互联网等技术工具在他们之间建立联系，以促进基层的国际了解。在兵库师范大学福祖（附）学校制作的录像带内容包括两类，一类是试图重点介绍学校，另一类是展示学生的日常活动和学习方式。录像带由参与研究人员在指定的课堂上播放，他们观察了更多的学生对录像带的反应，学生们还写了一篇论文来提出问题和评论。结果表明，学生们在日常生活中非常关注他们的文化差异，例如，日本学生对美国学校的自助午餐系统、校车、计算机课（尤其是数学课）、班级规模和厚厚的教科书感兴趣。另一方面，美国学生的大部分注意力集中在打扫教室和厕所上，这些通常是日本学生自己做的，这是同一项运动的规则。与此同时，在韩国，穿着校服的学生引起了日本学生不同服装的兴趣。我们正试图对这些独特的问题进行更精确的分析。这些问题将为我们发展全球教育提供重要的教学材料，而且这项调查清楚地告诉我们，大多数学生愿意与他们交流，即使他们有语言障碍。少

One of the important findings in the previous survey concerning to differences of school children's recognition about their environment in Japan, Korea and U.S.A.was that the answers they gave to the questionnaire might be based fundamentally on the knowledge they have learned in the textbooks, so that as a part of Global Education, we attempted to exchange the video tapes which would give the children more clear realistic images of other students who live in different country, and hopefully we could set up a linkage among them with technological tools such as Internet to promote grass roots international understanding.The contents of the video tape made in Fuzoku (attached) school of Hyogo University of Teacher Education, consisted of two categories, one tried to focus an introduction of the school, and the other to show what the students doing their daily activities and how they were learning.The tapes were presented at assigned classes by the participant researchers, and the respons … More e of the students to the video tape were observed by them, and also the students had written a paper to make questions and to give comments to it.The responses showed that students had paid much their attention to the aspects of their cultural differences in day-to-day life, for instance, Japanese students are interested in cafeteria system of lunch, school bus, computer used lesson especially with math, class size, and thick textbooks in American school. On the other hand, much attention of American students was focused on cleaning class rooms and toilets usually made by Japanese students themselves, rules of the same sport. Meanwhile, in Korea, students wearing uniforms aroused interest of the different dresses of Japanese students. We are trying to make more precise analysis of the unique questions. Those questions would provides us important instructional materials to develop global education, and also this survey clearly tell us the most of the students are willing to communicate each their even so they have language barrier.
